Chapter 162: How a Master of Romance is Forged 3
He Zhixing followed the man back to the living room of Boss Li Liang’s house and sat down. Just then, Jiang Ni, who had been helping Boss Li’s wife sort through some old treasures, put down her work and brewed them some tea.
After they each took a sip, He Zhixing asked, “Brother, please continue. I want to hear this ultimate method you mentioned.”
He Zhixing was aware that one of the beautiful women who had accompanied them last time was actually his wife—a stunning woman, reputed to be wealthy, beautiful, and refined. It seemed this man really had a knack for winning over women. This time, he took the initiative to teach He Zhixing his techniques for courting women, explaining patiently. Although He Zhixing himself had numerous admirers—not far from him even now—he listened attentively.
Yet He Zhixing’s true intention was not about women; he was not lacking in female attention. He could easily have approached the girl he was interested in without relying on these courting methods—to befriend her, to persuade her to let him sell the Luban Pagoda she possessed. With his formidable skills, he could have scaled walls and snuck into the courtyard to steal the pagoda containing the sacred relics. But this time, he chose not to take that route. He wasn’t entirely sure why—perhaps he had grown sentimental, or maybe he genuinely had feelings for the girl. At the moment, even he couldn’t quite figure it out.
The friend gave a subtle signal, lightly pointing toward Jiang Ni, and said to He Zhixing, “Do you really want me to say it?”
Knowing what he meant, He Zhixing answered, “It’s fine. Jiang Ni is here and listening; I’m not avoiding suspicion. It’s better if she knows.”
The man nodded. “Alright, since that’s the case, I’ll tell you.”
(Here, the author would like to state: Please do not blindly imitate the following content. There are many ways to court a woman, and I am no master. The purpose of this story is to entertain. Any shortcomings, please forgive.)
The man began slowly, “Well, these aren’t entirely my own experiences. Some I’ve heard from friends; others are small insights I’ve gathered myself.”
He continued, “Actually, women have soft spots; they are not invulnerable. Many put on a hedgehog-like facade, disguising themselves because they don’t want just any man to see their inner world. It’s a way to protect themselves. But once you cleverly break through and gain her favor, she will occasionally test you with little trials to see how you react and behave. When your actions earn her silent approval, she will no longer be like a hedgehog covered in sharp spines.”
Jiang Ni listened with interest, and even Boss Li and his wife moved closer. Boss Li’s wife asked, “And then?”
The man went on, “Once you’ve gained her favor, it’s important to show appropriate attention and encouragement—demonstrate your care through actions. Women, being emotional, often yearn for beautiful romance and tender moments. As a skilled man, you must appear cleverly at moments when she needs and desires to see you, bringing unexpected joy and surprise. Her happiness and delicate, romantic heart will ignite with affection—that’s when you know she’s slowly warming to you.”
He added, “After touching her heart, keep advancing steadily. Gradually express your desire for responsibility, thoughtfulness, and address any worries she may have. You must be meticulous—skillfully creating the atmosphere she longs for, whether it’s romantic, flattering, humorous, comforting, stable, ambitious, attractive, or talented. Charm her through all her senses—food, travel, clothing, humor, mutual help, love, and tacit understanding.”
He continued, “Even learn the types of kisses she prefers and the right settings, understand her sensitive spots, and wholeheartedly cater to her favorite tastes. Once you win her heart, when she falls for you, she will treasure you above all else...”
The man concluded, “This is only one aspect. Courting a woman is not something anyone dares to claim mastery over. Only those who truly put in the effort will gain something. No matter what, you only find out who belongs to whom by walking the path.”
